TFG return to White House 'would be a disaster' for US intelligence: Former DHS whistleblower

A former senior Department of Homeland Security official who once accused the Trump administration of politicizing intelligence said Sunday that a return of President Donald Trump to the White House in 2024 "would be a disaster" for the U.S. intelligence community.

"Former President Trump has denigrated the intelligence community, he puts out disinformation -- and that's an existential threat to democracy and he is one of the best at putting it out and hurting this country," Brian Murphy, who once led the DHS intelligence branch, said Sunday in an exclusive interview on ABC's "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos.

Murphy, a long-time federal law enforcement official, made headlines last year after filing a whistleblower complaint accusing Trump-appointed leaders of politicizing intelligence by withholding or downplaying threats that ran counter to former President Donald Trump’s political messages.

The 24-page complaint, filed in September 2020, named former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and former acting Secretary Chad Wolf as trying to “censor or manipulate” intelligence bulletins related to Russian meddling in the presidential election and the threat of domestic white supremacist groups.

as a viable candidate for 2024 strikes me as absolutely demented.

If the Rethug party lets this lunatic anywhere near the nomination, they are all ENEMIES OF THE STATE.

ps: I think they already are.

and said he has joined a world wide group that is combating all this intel mis-info. He also called Chad Wolf a non stop liar who no one in intel believes or trusts.
